Nourishing Xiao Wu's meridians and searching for the next target!

Nuoding Academy.

Mu Chen was just preparing to return to his office when a petite figure suddenly jumped out from around the corner, blocking his path.

"Xiao Wu?"

"Hehe! Did I scare you?"

Xiao Wu giggled.

Mu Chen smiled faintly, raising a hand to pinch Xiao Wu's soft, rosy cheek.

"Hurry, I'm hungry!"

"Let's go eat!"

Xiao Wu pulled Mu Chen toward the cafeteria.

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't I give you a Gold Soul Coin before I left?"

Xiao Wu smiled sheepishly: "I treated everyone in the dormitory to a meal yesterday, and the money is all gone."

Mu Chen chuckled: "Let me guess... I suspect you did more than just that, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately looked proud: "I am the boss of everyone in Dorm Seven now!"

"Not doing anything productive, just focused on collecting underlings." Mu Chen picked Xiao Wu up and gave her bottom two firm slaps.

"Ah! That hurts! You actually hit my butt!"

Xiao Wu's face flushed red, and she glared back at Mu Chen in shame and anger.

Although Xiao Wu had taken Mu Chen as her teacher, the concept of respecting one's mentor did not exist in her mind; in this regard, she was not like Tang San.

Mu Chen set Xiao Wu down and said calmly: "I am your teacher; educating you is my right."

Xiao Wu rubbed her bottom, blushing as she retorted angrily: "Then I won't be your student anymore!"

Mu Chen waved his hand: "That won't do. A teacher for a day is a father for life; those are the rules."

"Huh?!" Xiao Wu was taken aback.

Mu Chen took Xiao Wu's hand and headed toward the cafeteria: "As compensation, I'll take you to eat."

Xiao Wu muttered: "That's more like it..."

Since she had already been hit, if she missed out on the meal, wouldn't she have been hit for nothing?

"Your soul power seems to have improved quite a bit." Mu Chen said casually.

Xiao Wu smiled and offered no explanation.

Mu Chen couldn't be bothered to ask, but since Xiao Wu's cultivation talent surpassed Tang San's, he hoped she would cultivate faster so she could provide him with more rewards.

He coughed lightly: "After we finish eating, come to my office. I will nourish your body and clear your meridians; that will speed up your cultivation."

Xiao Wu readily agreed: "Okay!"

"Teacher... does nourishing the body really have to be like this?"

The sunset glow filtered through the windows into the quiet, elegant office. The doors and windows were tightly shut, isolating all the noise from the outside world.

On the sofa in the inner bedroom, Xiao Wu bit her thin lip, watching Mu Chen approach step by step. She felt restless and suddenly began to regret it.

"Of course, relax, it's fine."

Mu Chen walked slowly to Xiao Wu's side, his tone gentle and soft. He reached out, laid Xiao Wu down, and then placed his palms, glowing with soul power, onto her body.

Xiao Wu's eyes closed slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently. Her earlobes turned a deep crimson, and her delicate hands nervously gripped the hem of her skirt.

Xiao Wu called out in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"Mm... Teacher..."

A sense of comfort radiated from within her body, and she felt her entire being relax.

Pure, warm, pale-gold Radiant Dragon King soul power emerged from Mu Chen's hands, soft yet filled with vigorous vitality, as he gently covered Xiao Wu's delicate frame.

Xiao Wu's cheeks burned red, and her neck was stained a faint pink. Her body subconsciously curled up slightly, and her breathing became shallow and rapid.

"Relax, don't be nervous."

"This process will take a long time."

Mu Chen's expression was focused.

Xiao Wu felt as if a little rabbit were thumping against her heart. Too shy to open her eyes, she whispered in a soft, sweet voice: "Teacher, your hands... are so warm... I feel like my whole body is soft and tingling..."

"That's exactly right."

Mu Chen remained focused, controlling his soul power with perfect precision as it seeped into every part of Xiao Wu.

The soul power of the Radiant Dragon King was holy and bright; for any soul master who did not possess evil or dark attributes, it was an excellent tonic.

Xiao Wu's cheeks were burning, her fingertips curled slightly, and she bit her lip shyly, murmuring softly: "Teacher... I think that's enough, can we stop now?"

Although her whole body felt warm and comfortable, making her reluctant to leave Mu Chen's hands, she couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in her heart, her pulse quickening uncontrollably.

"Don't rush, it will take another two hours."

Mu Chen's expression was focused as he stated the time.

"It takes that long?"

"In two hours, it will be dark..."

Xiao Wu slowly raised her head to glance at Mu Chen, a faint mist of moisture rising in her eyes, her cheeks flushed an unusual shade of red.

Mu Chen nodded solemnly.

Two hours later, the pale golden light slowly receded, and Mu Chen withdrew all of his Soul Power.

Xiao Wu had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

"Phew!"

Mu Chen let out a sigh of relief, looking at the soundly sleeping Xiao Wu with a slight upward curve of his lips.

"It's time for me to attend to my own business!"

Immediately, Mu Chen began to absorb the innate soul ring rewarded by the system to break through to the rank of Soul Ancestor.

A night passed.

That innate soul ring had already turned into a black ten-thousand-year ring, reaching the absolute limit of what Mu Chen could withstand.

Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly woke up, opening her eyes to see Mu Chen in the middle of absorbing his soul ring.

"This is..."

Xiao Wu gasped, her expression shifting.

Could it be... is he also a transformed soul beast?

It must be, otherwise, there is no way he could condense a soul ring on his own!

At that moment, the ten-thousand-year innate soul ring merged into Mu Chen's body.

Mu Chen successfully broke through to the rank of Soul Ancestor, and his Soul Power Level had reached fifty.

The phantom of the Radiant Dragon King appeared behind Mu Chen, accompanied by three purple and one black soul ring, all of which were clearly seen by Xiao Wu.

"Hiss!"

The commotion caused by Xiao Wu was noticed by Mu Chen.

Mu Chen opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Wu, and smiled faintly: "When did you wake up?"

Xiao Wu thought of Mu Chen's previous actions and blushed shyly: "I just woke up."

Mu Chen retracted his martial soul and the four soul rings, laughing: "How do you feel?"

Xiao Wu lowered her gaze and nodded gently: "Very good, it feels very comfortable..."

Mu Chen came over to sit beside Xiao Wu and gently stroked her scorpion braid.

"So... do you want to continue today?"

"Okay~"

Even Xiao Wu's ears had turned completely red.

Mu Chen checked the time: "It's almost time for class. You go to class first, and after you finish, come here to eat."

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly, quickly putting on and adjusting her school uniform, then hurried out of Mu Chen's office with a flushed face, heading toward the classroom.

All the while, her mind was fixated on Mu Chen's absorption of the soul ring.

Forty-nine already, so fast!

Mu Chen felt his own Soul Power, unable to stop his lips from curling upward.

A few days ago, he was only at level thirty-nine.

Now, having taken Xiao Wu and Tang San as disciples, he had soared directly to level forty-nine!

His martial soul had even evolved!

He had also obtained cultivation techniques and martial arts!

The future was promising!

"Finding the next target in Nuoding City is going to be incredibly difficult!"

Mu Chen sighed.

Suddenly, he thought of Tang San's mother.
